"Scarlett Xavier." Despite knowing her way of speaking was always unpleasant, Jonah Morgan still felt a bit overwhelmed hearing her speak like this.
For the first time, he confessed his feelings to her, only to be dismissed so entirely. He held her shoulders, lowered his head, and a kiss descended...
Scarlett was momentarily stunned, and before he could kiss her, she slapped him directly. "Are you crazy? Let's not mention that I'm still Julian Rhodes' wife; we haven't divorced yet. Have you thought about what you're doing? If Uncle finds out, won't he be infuriated?"
Jonah had already let her go, standing in front of her with his head lowered, looking at her. Scarlett glanced at him and turned to leave.
He stood there, placing his hand on his face, on the spot where she had struck him.
His slender eyes slowly revealed a mocking smile.
Humans! So unfair.
Why can some people effortlessly obtain whatever they want?
